All artists, at one point in their music careers, did cover songs from their favorite band or singer. Famous music artists come up with their own version to pay tribute and respect to their influence and motivators, while most newbies and wannabies do revivals to catch listeners’ attention and become instant chart toppers.
Some favored cover songs done by famous Rock and Alternative bands were No Doubt’s version of Talk Talk’s It’s My Life, Cake’s version of the 1978’s hit song I will survive by Gloria Gaynor, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 2003 version of Ramones Havana Affair, and Guess Who’s American Woman performed by Lenny Kravitz.
RnB and Hip Hop artists also made their share on the cover music scene. P. Diddy and Faith Evan’s version of Sting’s I’ll be missing you became an international hit, same with Fugees’ own interpretation of Now Woman, No Cry and Killing Me Softly.
Pop and Dance artists as well have their own contributions like Madonna’s American Pie (which became a soundtrack of the movie Next Best Thing) and Fatboy Slim’s version of Steve Miller Band’s The Joker…. And the list goes on.
Despite sounding so familiar, it’s still the listeners who will decide what song is pleasing to their ears and which artists gave justice to these all time faves. With these songs being part of mobile ringtones, in real tone and poly tone, it only means that it is also in demand in the mobile music scene.
